All Children's Outpatient Care, South Tampa, located at 4518 South Manhattan Avenue, closed on June 27, with plans to reopen at a new, larger location in the South Tampa area in the near future.

"Due to facility constraints we made the decision not to renew our lease at the South Manhattan Avenue location," says Mildred Dones, who serves as director of acute care rehab at All Children's Hospital as well as director of the South Tampa location. "We remain committed to our patients and families from the South Tampa area and are planning soon to offer an expanded range of services at a new location in this area."

The pediatric speech-language therapists, and occupational and physical therapists providing care at the South Tampa location will relocate either to All Children's Outpatient Care, Tampa, located at 1222 Bruce B. Downs Boulevard, or to the Child Development and Rehabilitation Center on the main All Children's Hospital campus in St. Petersburg. Both of these locations are within 17 miles of the South Tampa center, and families are encouraged to follow their therapist to one of these locations. If that is not possible, the rehab team will make every effort to assist those families in transitioning their child's therapy services as needed. Families with questions may contact Mildred Dones at 727-767-8088.
